Sources told The Gleaner that the management team and an attorney had discussed the case with Jamaican government officials in Florida, but there was no confirmation.

It was also not clear if Buju had retained the services of an attorney.

"Feelers came to me and other attorneys but no one has yet been retained, and I'm not sure who is acting on his behalf," attorney-at-law, Professor David Rowe, told The Gleaner late yesterday.

Rowe pointed out that any attorney who was retained would have to take the case on a temporary basis until checks were completed about the source of the money which would be used to pay their fee.
